Forgotten War scenarios

[Craig Benn]

How many Korean war scenarios are there using FW rules?

What I'm aware of;

Forgotten War - 16
Fight for Seoul - 21
Rally Point #15 - 10
Rally Point #17 -10
Action Pack 17 - 13
From the Cellar#10 - 4

What am I missing?

The latest Special Ops magazine has a starter kit scenario in Korea...S91 Ready or Not 23 July 1950...sort of counts.

We need more ChiCom scenarios...a horde more...

Semper Fi!

The ASL Scenario Archive lists 153 taking place in Korea. I don’t know how many of these use FW rules.

WO Pack 2022, WO41 and WO42.

WO pack 9 WO28 Dean’s defiance
WO pack 10 WO32 Corps Value

DTF8 the Art of War uses Chicom counters and part of Chicomn rules against GMD Chinese with standard terrain. So 45% there?

 

[Craig Benn]

DTF8 and S91 don't count.

4 from WO packs makes 78.

Still not a lot considering FW is 4 years old. (Even assuming there are some we've missed).
But considering how hard it is to find a FW opponent, probably enough.

Any upcoming Korea products anyone knows of?

Journal 13. I hope.

I was flicking through Dispatches from the bunker scenarios and I noticed they have one as well- DB152 Second Try at Ch'amyon-ni. Looks actually pretty interesting.

 

[Vic Provost]

We will be doing playtesting shortly on another KW scenario that should come out in Dispatch #55 in late March. Thanks for pointing out DB152 Second Try at Ch'amyon-ni, a fine offering from a recent Dispatch.

My impression of the Korean War is that it does not offer many opportunities for scenario creation. It was a tiny affair compared to WWII. 80 odd scenarios is not bad considering the scale of the conflict and the type of combat it had.

Fight for Seoul uses most of the FW rules. One big exception is the paddy fields, which in FW have Banks along each hexside, but in FfS Banks only exist on exterior paddy fields, creating big rice paddies, actual paddy fields rather than coterminous paddy enclosures if you will. Much deadlier to cross and more realistic. Wish FW had adopted that interpretation.

We have been playing every LFT Fight for Seoul scenarios in turn. Done with Seoul and now on SmR03 from Smith’s Ridge.

Never looked back since!

I've done 8 out of 10 of the Seoul scenarios. I really like them as well.

I worked my way through Rally Point 15, and am now going through most of Rally Point 17.

Definitely much smaller, but consider that you could have an ASL scenario for nearly every company level clash. And what 12-15 UN divisions for 2+ years? (You could have a lot more WW2 scenarios in theory than the 6-8,000 we have.) So more than enough raw material...if scenario designers are interested.

80 is about 2 years worth of play for me so I'm not particularly advocating it. I'm more interested in the French Indochina war than Korea but I do like variety. Really enjoyed 'Fox in the cold' and it's a nice change of pace at times. The Chinese HS overrun ability is fun. I'm sure there will be more scenarios.

Why not create a CG or scenarios about the Canadians.. when the Chinese forced the US back Australia NZ and Canada held a series of hills.The majority of the scenarios are about US forces. We contributed a lot as well.

Staunch Allies whose sacrifices should not be forgotten. Even in the Forgotten War.

Half of Rally Point 17 scenarios involve non-US UN forces

At least one scenario. will be Korean War.

Given the variety of troop types involved, and the fluid actions of the first year and a half, I think there's still plenty left to do. 1952-53 might get a bit 'samey'.

I like it as it is good ASL. Infantry-focused battles with SUPPORTING AFVs
